you know ... i'm just thinking out loud as a mapper (at least at heart) ... why can't you write a map to do this? it's got to be safer than doing it manually and can't be that difficult regardless of the mapper you're using.

It's really fun on big, ugly 837 files from large medical groups that can't fix their systems for several months (or years).

You might want to look at a software solution. Conceptually, you could import your current 856 data into their software, use the software to generate your pallets or manifest. Then generate the 856 to your customer from that. There is a company out of Michigan called e-SupplyLink that you might wish to call & see if their solution would work for your company. http://www.e-supplylink.com/ Regards, Susan Stecklair From: [email protected] <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of John Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 10:32 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [EDI-L] Re: 856 HL level removal Alex, Thanks for the thoughts and you are right that a correct solution would be to use Gentran Windows to fix the HL loops. However, that would not fix the data in our MRP which is why it is not a valid long term solution. In order to fix the MRP data we need to perform quite a few steps which, unfortunately, our guy on the shipping dock does not have access to at 1:00 am. So the long term fix is to change the process, that will then create correct EDI. In the meantime, Honda gets a lot of bad 856s, they get mad at us and go looking for a new supplier then I get to go look for a new job! All in all, it seems best to manually fix a few 856s while we fix the process the right way. One other note, I could create a Data Entry map in Gentran, then bring in the EDI and remove the bad HL loops and then let it fix the HL numbering but it seems easier to me to fix the EDI and save me the time it would take to create and debug and test a Date Entry map.
